NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 03: Clean-up workers walk down a street in the heavily damaged South Street Seaport affected by Superstorm Sandy on December 3, 2012 in New York City. South Street Seaport, an area popular with tourists which was about to go through a major redevelopment, suffered severe damage from Hurricane Sandy. Most of the buildings and businesses, including the South Street Seaport Museum, suffered severe flooding and remained closed. According to a new Siena Research Institute poll, most New Yorkers overwhelmingly agree that climate change was behind Hurricane Sandy. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
